Good news [Lonewolf Ed] - Page 5

Lonewolf Ed · 01-24-2015, 04:51 PM

I thought I'd start a new thread for updates on my cancer treatments and whatever else is going on, since the bad news thread title is misleading now.

My last treatment went better than the previous two and my chest wound is still closed up, which is a good thing. My arm is getting slightly stronger and I hope to resume lifting dumbbells next week. I need to build up my strength again, because I am going back to Denmark in May and I am extremely pumped about that! I'd like to be able to schlepp my own checked bag and not have someone else lifting it for me.

It's going to be a fabulous trip, 6 weeks and a couple of days for me. My brother is going along as well as my friends Chipp and Rod. Chipp is staying close to 3 weeks and has not gone with me over there since 2006 so he is also very pumped to be going. It will be Rod's first trip and he will be there for 2 weeks. I will get to be a tour guide. Also, I am throwing a party in my favorite pub of all, the wonderful, ever-magnificent Irish House in Aalborg on May 7th. The owner and I are friends and he will give me a little discount. We'll have Irish stew and brews in the cellar and I hope to have around 25 family and friends there. I might bill it as the "Fu** Cancer Party." A few months back, I was not sure I'd ever be able to go over to Denmark again or if I'd even be alive, but the cancer hasn't gotten me yet. I'm doing a number on it, instead.

Some other cool things I plan to do when I am back in my ancestral lands include a wine tasting in a castle, touring another castle and the northernmost manor home in the country, and visiting Skagen, the top of Denmark, where you can stand on a little patch of beach and have one foot in one sea and one in another. They also have a brewpub up there I am wanting to check out. I will start and end my trip in Aalborg and spend 5 weeks in an apartment I rent that is very close to the beach. I can hardly wait for May 4th to roll around!

Hang in there Ed. One day at a time....

Glad things seem to be going pretty well, even with the tiny set back in numbers. Your trip does sound like it will be a blast!

I feel better than I have in a week or so. Part of it is that I resumed lifting some weights. Just lifting my arms over my head with nothing in my hands was difficult just several days ago. My right arm felt heavier and was slower to respond. Now, it is about equal with both the right and left. I suppose that having a 2.5 inch tunnel eaten down my chest from infection would have caused me quite a setback. It is nice to be past that now and I am very pleased with the progress now. I was not very patient for the 2 months plus that it took to heal the wound.

Glad you are feeling better Ed. Keep kicking ass...

Thank you! It is shaping up to be one. I am on day 3 after treatments and I am hungry, so I don't need any meds. I am going to enjoy a pot of Earl grey with lemon and honey, cereal and milk, a banana, two boiled eggs and yogurt to start my day.

I really do have cancer... see? I look tired and should. My first appointment was at 7:45 am and I had to get up at 6:00 am. Ugh. I took a nap after the photos since the bag hooked up to me went for 2 hours. *yaaawn*

I was napping 10 minutes after that pic! Seriously, I went to bed the night before and didn't sleep well, woke up 15 minutes before the alarm, and had to get there by 7:45 am for my blood draw. I was TIRED!

Thats just what they call "badass practice" for a guy like you... kick some ass, take a nap... then get up and start kicking all over again.

Sleep is how your inner Berzerker recharges himself, get some whenever you can... then get up, AND GET SOME.
